Manchester United are headed to Australia to play their second pre-season fixture against Melbourne Victory.
After thrashing Liverpool 4-0 in the opening fixture of Tour 2022, Erik ten Hag and his men will be looking to continue their good start to the season with a victory against Victory.
When and Where?
With the squad flying from Bangkok, they touched down in Melbourne on Wednesday morning to be greeted with the sight of thousands of Manchester United fans.

The match will be played at Melbourne Cricket Ground, the first of two occasions that Manchester United will play in the famous stadium.
The game is due to kick off at 11:05 BST, with the match being shown exclusively on MUTV. Full international timings can be viewed here.
We know who’s on the tour, but have there been any changes?
Erik ten Hag traveled to Thailand with a 31-man squad, with many of those getting a run out against Liverpool.

There has been one reported change to the squad, with Axel Tuanzebe leaving due to a small personal issue, and instead youngster Will Fish being flown to Australia to make up the difference.
Cristiano Ronaldo was not part of the Bangkok-bound side, and although Erik ten Hag has pronounced that he expects the striker to join pre-season tour when possible, however there has been no indication as to when that may be.
Another who may be joining the tour in the coming days is Christian Eriksen.
The Dane is set to sign for the club this week on a 3-year contract after verbally agreeing to sign on a free contract last week.
What has Ten Hag said?
Speaking after the victory against Liverpool, the Dutchman was positive but critical of his players.

"Of course, we are satisfied today," he told MUTV after the game.
"I think there was a team with a great spirit and we know that we have just started.
“We did the press, there was some mistakes in pressing and we conceded some chances, but we also created a lot.
"I think our team was brave, very proactive and we have to work very hard to get out the mistakes, but of course we are happy with the first game."
Ones to Watch
After his fantastic performance against Liverpool, all eyes will be on Anthony Martial to see if he can replicate his striker display.

He has had a tough last season, after scoring one goal in 11 appearances for United before moving on loan to Sevilla to score one goal in 12 appearances for them.
The player looked incredibly sharp on Tuesday though, closing down the Liverpool defence to create his own chance and score a lovely dinked chip over Alisson and earn the Man of the Match award.
Another is Jadon Sancho, who after a slow season with his new club last season, played a brilliant game against Liverpool, scoring and exciting the crowd with his dazzling feet.
